Poinsettia Gift Tag

Good Morning!  Today I have something other than a card to share.  It's a gift tag but it's still Christmas!  :-). I was inspired to make it because of Tracey McNeely's 25 Tags of Christmas that is going on at her blog, In My Creative Opinion.  She's almost done now and there has been a plethora of amazing tags made by her and her guests.  It's hard not to be inspired!  She has a lot of great prizes to be won too which is a generous gesture.  Its amazing to see the sheer variety of tag designs that everyone has come up with.  Anyway, here's my tag...


So, I broke out my STAMPlorations poinsettia stamp again and stamped it on the corner of my white tag.  I coloured it in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The colouring is very similar to what I did HERE in a previous post.  I loved how it turned out so decided to do it again.  Perhaps I should make some more in different colour schemes.  Anyway, I then took a permanent gold pen (Pilot) and splattered it all over.  It's one of those pens you have to pump to get the ink flowing so I did that to get excess ink so I could splatter it.  It's a really nice bright gold colour.  Then I stamped my sentiment (also by STAMPlorations).  I added some ribbon and it was done.  Looks more complicated than it really is.  :-)

I'm linking up to the following challenges:

Merry Monday - red, green and white


STAMPlorations - Anything Goes Challenge (it's an ongoing challenge)
Addicted to Stamps and More - "Holiday"
I'm also going to add it to Tracey's Flickr group.  You should check out all the great tags!

Well, it's US Thanksgiving tomorrow so I want to wish all my US friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy your dinner and time with family!  Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.  :-)
